Seanna Origin and Meaning

The name Seanna is a girl's name.

Seanna is a feminine name that combines elements of Sean (the Irish form of John) with a feminine ending, creating a melodic, gender-adapted variant. Pronounced either 'SHAWN-a' or 'SEE-anna' depending on preference, this name has Irish and Gaelic roots, with the original Sean meaning 'God is gracious.' Seanna gained modest popularity in the 1990s and 2000s, appreciated for its lyrical quality and clear pronunciation. While not among the most common names, it offers a familiar sound without being overused. Parents often choose Seanna for its gentle flow, Irish cultural connections, and modern feminine feel while maintaining traditional roots. The name works well cross-culturally and carries a sense of warmth and approachability.
